  • If you were in the US I would guess that during normal times you could find a job that pays $90-100k + benefits.

    It’s not an exact comparison, I’m a front end person with a lot of Drupal experience, probably less php and js experience than you, and my agency pays really well, but I was hired at $108k and earn $118k now, + about 15k in benefits, to give you a rough idea.

    You might be able to find a remote job in the US but it will be tough, the time difference is hard, plus the added expense of employing someone in another country, plus the massive uncertainty around the US economy right now will be challenging. Worth a shot, but I think it’s definitely worth trying to find something better in the UK.














  • I tell myself I do the upgrades for the camera improvements since I take a lot of pictures of my daughter.

    For 6 to 7 the biggest reason was the awful modem and I had trouble with phone calls. I was dating at the time and it was awful to have women tell me they couldn’t hear me over the phone. The phone also overheated a lot.

    If I were you I’d go with the 7. The modem wasn’t perfect but it was a lot better.

    For 7 to 8 it was the improved wide angle camera.

    For 8 to 9 it’s the improved selfie camera, improved camera zoom performance, battery life, and because it was so cheap.
